.3 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 3. 1910.

F. S. NOBLE'S SPEEDY GRAY JACKET. MIDSHIPMEN AWAIT FOOTBALL SEASON. Noted Racing Auto Drivers Meet To-day for First Time Series Competition Is Ended At Race Week of Atlantics Craft in Interstate Championship.

Brighton Beach Speed Carnival Marks First Test of Skill Be tween Barney Oldtield and George Robertson Three Mar quette Buick Cars Entered for the Vanderbilt Cup Race Long Island Auto Club May Have 1,000 Members Before End ol year. will go direct, to Haines Falls, via New Palz and Palenvllle. This decision was arrived at owing to the fact that thera fed a Only Two Members of Team Lost by Graduation Thirty in the Squad. Annapolis, September 3-Wiih tha end of the aunimer cruino and the annual 1hw taking of the midshipmen, every local uporting enthusiast la beginning to look to the football srason. Scarcely more than a month and the navy will open lie Bchedule of games, the initial con' est being booked with Johns College, the local Institution, for October 1.

Thirty vptoraim or lam year's i.quad have already gone on leave, one week In advance of (he rent of the midshipmen, this privilege having been granted then, in order thai they might return 10 Annapolis that much earlier to begin practice. Haivng lost only two of the members of last year's utrong eleven, by graduation, and with ft large and well-seasoned tquad to begin on, the prospect of turning uiu a winning nggregation this fall ia very encouraging, captain Meyer, guard, and Richardson, lull back, are two big men who graduated in June. Meyer will ret urn 1 0 Annapolis about the middle of not. however, in the capacity of a player. He will be one of the aioMstunt coaches.

He has a tine knowledge of the game and will lend his time to drilling the linemen. Lieutenant Krn nk D. Berrien will again have full direction of the team in the capacity of head coach or adviser. The graduate system of coaching will again be ihe order of thlnga at the naval institution, although Wheaton, a former Yale star, baa been engaged ib field coach. He will be the only ouiwide man employed, however.

HEDGES OBJECTS TO GIVING UP HOWELL 'Handsome Hnrry" May Be Used as a "Scout" if Not as a Pitcher. St, LouU. September 2 Harry Howell, former Brooklyn and St. Louis pitcher, may not become an umpire after all! The erstwhile clever spitball artist whose mighty arm failed him two years ago Is rdxIoiis to enlist as an arbiter; his many friends have hoped to see his wish gratified; President Byron Bancroft Johnson of the American League of Professional Baseball Clubs has repeatedly voiced his willingness to assign "Handsome Harry," but one thing remains in the way, and this particular obstacle happens to be practically Insurmountable "Boss" Hedges Is "fernlnst" the idea. "I've given the American League one umpire Bill DIneen and do not (eel that I should be called upon to furnish another unless the league sees fit to buy the release of some one or more of my players who mav be regarded as available umpire material." says President Robert Lee Hedges of the Browns, when the subject was broached to him.

Continuing, he remarked; "There Is scarcely a club In the league that hasn't some veteran player who could be developed Into an arbitrator, and since I have given the league one man It does appear that before 1 am called upon to givj up any more some of Ihe other clubs should 'ante The reluctance of Hedges to give away any of his players Is no doubt superinduced by the attitude assumed by every other club owner In the league to rofraln from assisting him in strengthening his club. Detroit had a catcher to dispose of. but the Browns did not secure him. even though Hedges offered to pay President Xavln $500 more for the player than any other club offered; when Boston was ready to dispose of French Comlskey was given the preference; when Taylor sprung the news that he would trade Lord. Hedges' offer to entertain any old ort of a trade was ignored, and every other club has turned the cold shoulder on at.

Louis. So It is really little wonder that the local magnate is sulking when called upon to part with Howell. Harry Howell's pitching days may be over, but Harry himself doesn't think so. He savs that he feels confident he will be In working form next spring after the long rest he has given his salary wing. But whether he is or not, Howell Is a useful man to Hedges.

He has given valuable assistance as a scout this summer, and has rounded up some likely looking youngsters for Jack O'Connor to try out. His own experience as a pitcher makes him useful In Instructing the younger men In the art of twirling, and during the late winter months Hedges may have his young pitchers report to St. Louis for the purpose of being given a series of lectures on the Inside part of the game as it Is played In the American League by O'Connor, Howell and other veterans on the team. BILL LANG AN ATHLETE AS WELL AS FIGHTER. Bill Lang, of Australia, who Is to meet Al Kaufman, of San Francisco, In a six-round bout at the Philadelphia Ball Park on the evening of Labor Day, is an all-round athlete.

His real name is Lan Franchi, but after a strenuous life In a Melbourne blacksmith shop, aided by wrestling and playing football, he decided to take up boxing and then changed his nnme lo Bill Lang. Lang's one ambition Is to be selected as the next opponent for Jack Johnson, and he Is leaving no stone unturned to achieve that ambition. Tommy Burns taught him all he knows and with a natural aptitude for boxing he learnB something new every time he fights. He has no doubt of his success against Kaufman In the coming boui, and already has made plans to meet the next best man after he Is through with Kaufman.

The teams are to cross bats to-morrow morning ot Hawthorne Field at 10 o'clock, and fast game le anticipated. Boston Yacht Defeats New York Grayjacket Scores a Win on Takes First Leg on New Classes.

Brooklyn yacht racing will reach Its normal level this afternoon. The Bensonhurst Yacht Club Is holding a resatia, and, although several visiting boats a to competing, In the main entries will be from the GraveBend Bay fluct. The contest Is the tenth race to count en the championship of the lower bay, and. hs the season Is ending, It Is expected Hint there will be an excellent fleet of -raft at the starting line. Although the Eenoon-tiuroi Yacht Club Is giving the and the cups are being ottered by Vice Commodore Samuel Cochrane, the starting and finishing line will he off the Atlantic Yacht Club at Sea Gate.

This rm been done so as not to confuse the visiting tars that have been taking part in the annual race week of the Atlantic Yacht Club. Although there will be water spnrtB at the Atlantic Yacht Club this afternoon and the annual regatta has to be Bailed on Monday, the race week of the big local organization came to an end last night when Cresrent sailed across the finish line the last of a fleet of fifty-eight starters to be timed. The week has been a great Buccess. On Wednesday there were sixty-two boats In the various classes. The number fell on Thursday to fifty.

This, however, was on account of the miserable weather conditions. In the aggregate, therefore, the Atlantic Yacht Club raced 170 starters In the three days of series races. With the number that will start In the annual regatta the race week of this season will Include more than two hundred entries, which easily sots a new record for Brooklyn yachting. Visiting Yachtsmen Pleased. It -Is not the question of the number, but the class and the clubs that were represented in the events that so much pleased the regatta committee made up of Horace E.

Boucher, chairman; Dr. J. E. De Mund and Walter Sykes, acting for Kenneth Lord. Clubs were represented at Sea Gate that never before sent boats to local waters.

The Bellport Bay Yacht Club sent four boats, and they were much pleased with lower bay racing that the Long Island tars decided to stay aver to-day and sail in the regatta of the Bensonhurst Yacht Club. "We have had a splendid time and excellent racing," said Commodore F. H. Holmes of that organization, "and we haev been royally entertained by the Atlantic Yacht Club. The series was most satisfactory to myself, as I won the prize, the first, by the way, that I have won In several years.

Even if I had lost I would only be too delighted to take part In the regatta next year." La Montagne, owner of Moustique. winner of the prlr.e among the one de-Vgn boats of the Cedarhuist Yacht Club, nnother strange clasR to local yachtsmen, was another visitor who was delighted with the' week. "We would have hsd more boats at Sea Gate," said Mr. La Montagne. "had it not been for the fact that many of our boys are awav at the piesent time.

Next year we should have a bigger representation at the Atlantic Yacht Club." The Cedarhtirst Yacht Club sent six boats to Sea Gate for the series races. Another Long Island class that was much admired by the Gravesend Bay Corinthians was the one design claas of the Islip Yacht Club. Five boats were In the class, and they raced against two boats of the same design from the Lnrch-mont Yacht Club. The Great South Bay bils were centerboards, however. and had no difficulty In winning the series from the keel boats from Long Island Sound.

The winner of the lnterclub series was Electra. Besides racing as one class, the boats of each organization sailed ns separate classes for other prizes. The Larchmont trophy was won by Yuknn, while Electra was the winner of the Islip prize. Boston Boat Wins Titcomb Cup. The one-design classes furnished by no meanB the mpst Important racing of the week.

The star fixture was the Interstate race between New York and Massachusetts for the Titcomb Cup. Each state was represented by three boats, and al though a New York craft won yesterday on points, the prize was taken by Amoret, the property of H. 8. Wheelock ot tha Corinthian Yacht Club nf Marblehead. TImandra, another Boston boat, finished second, and then rame Cara Mia and Windward, both tied for third place.

Mavourneen. also or Boston, finished fifth, and Crescent, the last of the local team, was the final craft in the point summary. As generally expected, the race 'for the Thompson Trophy was taken by Cray-jacket. The win gives young Mr. Noble a leg on the handsome prize.

To the surprise of all, Little Rhody II, the Boston boat, took eecond place, and then came More Joy, Spider, Soya and Florence, In the order named. The Lipton Cup series also ended as generally expected. R. B. Moore, sailing Blue Bill, scored 28 points on the prize, against 22 by Ardette, the second boat on th summary sheet.

Five of the "bugs" of. the Manhasset Bsy Yacht Club also took part In the regatta. Dragon Fly. the property ot C. Cowl, was the winner.

It was the first time that this division has sailed on local waters. Among the Gravesend Bay boats. Slow Poke won first prize in the class and Breeze took the second division of the handicap class. The first division of the same class was won by Kestral. Sixty-flve-rooters Had Good Racing.

Among the big boats, Gardenia won a prize for starting alone on Wednesday, and the 66-footers lstalena and Aurora oach captured cups. lstalena was victorious on Wednesday and Aurora led the boats home yesterday. There is some question about the win of the latter craft. Through a mistake on the part of the committee, the boats left the lightship at the finish to port Instead of to starboard, as required by the circular. The boat was protested, but probably the protest will be withdrawn.

The race yesterday was one of tho most Interesting nf the scries, and had it not been for the parting of the Jib stay of tho lstalena, forcing that craft to give up the contest soon after starting, the race would have been an unusually Interesting one. Winsome snd Aurora fought it out over a 16-mile triangle. The course was 15 miles and was twice covered by the racing craft. The first leg was to windward, and then came two reaches. On the second round the yachts were able to set spinnakers for the second leg of the course.

Winsome led at the end of the first round, when the times taken were: Winsome, 1:16:00, and Aurora. 1:17:10. The changing of the wind during the second round favored Aurora, and the craft slipped home a winner by one minute. The summary of the races yesterday follows: SLOOPS.

The programme provides for sailing, dancing, feasting and music, and according to the committee, there will be an endless round of pleasure at the clubhouse during the period mentioned. The fun will this afternoon, when there will be the skippers' race. This event promises to be not only Interesting but amusing and exiclting In the extreme. Sunday afternoon there will be the usual club races In which most of the club craft have entered. A number of visitors are expected at the clubhouse Sunday, and it will be something of a "receiving" day at the club.

Labor Day will be a gala one. In the morning, the members will be busy getting everything shipshape for entertaining the "landlubbers" and the house will be In the very pink of perfection. In the afternoon the final of the series races will be sailed to decide the winners in the one design clas3. As It stands at present, Kid-O, owned by Arthur Andrews and owned by A. Nes-bltt, are tie for first place.

Following the series of races there will be several canoe tilting tests and in addition to these attractions there will be dancing In the afternoon and evening. Sonder boats are racing to-day In a special eerles of trial races, under the auspices of the Eastern Yacht Club, In Buznards Bay. These races are to be sailed In order to select three boats to go to Kiel next June and raco there against three German boats for prizes offered by the German Emperor and Prince Henry of Prussia. Buzzards Bay was selected because it was thought that the conditions there more nearly represent those at Kiel than anywhere else along the coast. The races will be started somewhere near the Beverly and Slpplcan Yacht clubs, which are at Marion, but the committee cannot determine where the line will he until they find out the direction of the wind.

It Is the intention of the committee to sail as many races as possible, In order to thoroughly try out the yachts, and the courses will consequently be short ones. The windward or leeward course will be three miles to each leg, and the triangular course will be two miles to eac leg. The first race will be started at 11 o'clock, and the trials will lost to-day, Monday and Tuesday. The German system of starting will be used, The fleet of starters will be a lnrge one, and they will be raced in three divisions. This Is done to avoid unnecessary crowding end to give each starter a fair chance of success.

Owing to the fact that the Boston boats found It necessary to start home to-day. It was derided not to attempt a race for the ChUds Perpetual Challenge Trophy to-tluy. In all probability It will be held in conned Ion with the Corinthian chnm-plonshlp rnce of the Crescent Athletic Club, on Wednesday. September H. It also was decided not to attempt the Corinthian Navigation race.

Cldculnrs hove been Issued by the Larchmont Yacht Club for Its annunl fall regalia, on Labor Pay, and also for the rnce for tho Liirrhmnnt Cup of Hiin. open to schooners of 3R foot, racing measurement, nnd nltove.

Courtney's swift racing time yacht, Is now a tug towing dump scows. Such Is the untimely fate of the Cornell, which in its da took part lu many of the most famous races on Cayuga Lake. The Cornell arrived In Rochester recently from Buffalo, in charge of Captain George P. Helstron, owner, having towej four of the largest dump scows in the middle division of the Erie Canal from Syracuse to Buffalo. The scows were 75 feci In length anil 'sixteen feet wide, with a carrying capacity of 100 cubic yards of dirt.

The Cornell Is iW feet long by nine feet wide, and is fitted out with three-cylinder compound engines of 150 horsepower. Like vessels on a larger scale, the Cornell carries her own fresh water tanks. The boat waB built in 18D4. the same year that the Cornell crew went to Henley and lost In the race with the English team. In the fnll of the same year the Cornell was burned to the water's edge.

The following year she was rebuilt and contain-ued as Coach Courtney's time boat. So many students and members of the Cornell faculty wanted to ride on the favorite yacht, that Coach Courtney was hindered rather than helped In timing the races, and so it was decided to aell the Cornell. Transferred from the Intellectual and aristocratic surroundings of Cor nell to the dreary existence of a common barge tug on the canal, the Cornell still attracts much attention and admiration because of her beautiful racing lines and speed. No tugboat between Syracuse and Buffalo ran haul a line of bargea in swifter fashion than can the Cornell, and she is Just as successful in hauling dump scowb as she was in the past In speeding over Cayuga Lake with the colors of Cornell University flying from her foremast. M0T0RB0AT RACES MONDAY.

William Streiff Has Good Chance in Trip Across the Country on a Motorcycle. Local motorcycle enthusiasts are awaiting the arrival in this city of William Streiff, of San Francisco, who is on hie way across the country on a motorcycle In an effort to break the coast to coast record.

According to the time ho. has been making, he should set new figures, as he has been running ahead of the record held at present by L. J. Mueller, of Cleveland. Mueller has made two trips across the country.

The flrBt time he covered the distance In thirty-three days flat and the second time in thirty-one days, twelve hours and fifteen minutes. The latter time is the present record. Streiff recently talked a little of his experiences. He said that the ride was a bad one, being subject to all kinds of inconveniences, such as riding all day without food or water. Gasoline- and oil are almost unobtainable at times.

Water in the Western prairies was a necessity hard to obtain. When water could be obtained It was either impure or so warm as to be of little use. Streiff covered the distance between Reno and Cheyenne mostly on railroad ties, the roads being In such a muddy or rough condition as to he Impassable. Good roods were not found until he struck Chicago, where, he claims, the automobile club ha a little voice with the county commissioners, and has obtained good roads. "Any man that makes that trip Is crazy." said Streiff recently.

"If I knew what I was going up against I would never have tackled It, but having got this far I am going to see It through." ANDERSON AND RYAN TO CLASH Both Jimmy (Bull) Anderson, and Balding Larry Ryan, are In great form for their ten-round tilt, which will be staged by the Reno Athletic Club on Ralph avenue next Tuesday night for Its opening card. Both Anderson and Ryan have had a verv successful season with the upstate clubs, and ought to make a slashing battle for the dlstnnre. Matchmaker Charley Llndberg has arranged several fine bouts to precede the main event. KINGS CO. A.

The Kings County Athletic Association will have most of Its athletes at the of ihe Woodhavrn Exempt Volun teer Firemen's Association, which will be held on Monday, at Hasenflug's Dexter Park. Jamaica avenue and Enfield street, I'nlon Course, L. It will also be represented by its relay team In the Inferhorough relay, which will be the LfcAJ "ra ot the 'A itr? Bin ii i The automobile speed carnival which opens at the Brighton Beach Motordrome this afternoon and continues on Monday; will mark the first meeting between Bar- ney Oldfleld, the noted track driver and pioneer in the horse-track racing game, and George Robertson, probably the greatest road driver In this country, and considered by many the equal of any I track driver In the world It Is doubtful If a cly field was ever sent away at th seaside track I than will participate In the one-hour race to-day and again on Monday.

Both Oldfleld and Robertson will start in the long event. Oldfleld will drive his Kno "six," while Robertson will pilot a Sim- plex "50." Another Simple driven by Ralph Beardsley, an Isotta driven by Ray Howard, an Allen-Kingston driven by Leonard Ormesby. a Black Crow driven by Otto Rost, a Mercer drlved by E. A. Sheerwood.

an S. P. O. driven by Spencer I Ishard, a Fiat driven by Lewis Strang and a Moon driven by Sam Ifton will be the other starters In the one-hour and ten-mile events. The first event, which will start at 2 o'clock, will be one-mile I time trials for the world's circular tract- i record.

In this event Barney Oldfleld, driving his Blltzen Benz; Oeorge Robertson, driving his Simplex cyclone, and Ben Kerscher, the German, driving the Hein-mery Darracq, will be the starters most likely to reduce the present mark, aeld on the St. Paul, track. Oldfleld and Robertson will hook up again In the ten-mile event for cars of flitO cubic inches and under, while In the free-for-all at a distance of five miles Robertson will have to look for his laurels if Kerscher shows the same speed and daring he has been credited with oa the Western trarks. Superintendent William Claire atated last night that at no previous meet was the Brighton track In better condilion, the oil which replaced the gluterln used to treat the surface making probable less tire trouble and nermittins? of much higher speed than made before In one hour or long distance events. There are six automobllo vr.t.

Motorists of Brooklyn who are not members of the Long Island Automobile Club may look forward to a visit from Allen C. Alderman, president of the L. I. A. who has just returned from a five week vacation which he spent in the Berkshire mountains.

Failure to care for the concealed "hard-to-get-at" and therefore, generally overlooked mechanism of automobiles Is the cause of the rapid depreciation of many cara. according to the statements of H. Clifford Brokaw, principal of the West Side Young Men's Christian Association's Automobile School, of Manhattan. In a recent lecture on the "Essentials of Automobiles" at the public meeting of automobilists at the Association building.

"When a man invests In an automo bile," said Mr. Brokaw. "he expects the car to depreciate a certain amount each year. Few people seem to realize, how- i ever, that neglect of the concealed parts of an automobile Is the cause of much of the depreciation. To prolong the life of your automo- bile keep your ears open for squeaks i and don't forget to lubricate.

Automatic lubricators usually take care of all mov- ing parts of the engine and need very little attention. "Other parts of the car are not so fortunate, however. Oftentimes squeaks will occur which appear very mysterious. These as a rule, come from neglect to oil some hard-to-get-at part of the car. One of the most likely sources of the squeak is the spring shackles.

These, particularly on cars a year or two old, have no provision made for lubrication and the only way to get oil to the pins l. to let It run In tround the aide! of tho shackles. The universal Jolnta on the propeller shaft are also sources of the squeak. Being hidden under the car they are seldom thought of and when they get dry and let you know about it, the sound teems to come from almost anywhere except there. "Tho brake linkage Is also very often neglected.

I have seen brakes that would not disengage after being applied because the moving parts of the linkage were dry. I have also seen pins on brake rods so worn from lack of lubrication that a hard application would crack them and render the brake useless. "If you are looking for longevity In your machine you must listen for and remedy the Internal squeaks." It appears that the "Ideal tour." which has held undisputed sway as the most popular touring route In the East, Is to have a rival. The tour has become noted and Is giving thousands of motorists a fine outing trip besides enriching the hotel keepers and others along the route. This fact has become well known owing to the dispatches from Bretton X.

which ran be termed the center of mid-distances of the "Ideal tour." The dispatches tell of the arrivals at Bret'ou Woods by automobile, and they pract'-cally amount to ninety per cent, of the total guests registering at the big hotels there. In other words, the railroads bring ten per cent, and the automobiles Just nine times as many. Owing to the efforts of the Motor Contest Association, with the co-operation of Ihe people of the Catskllls. and Robert Bruce, tour manager and secretary of the American Automobile Association, the "We st-of-Hudson and Cats-kill scenic tour" will be formally launched on September 10 and 12, when the Cals-klll reliability contest route, marked out from Edgewater, X. to the CatskltU along the west bank of the Hudson and return, via Newburgh and Suffern to Edge-water, will become generally known through the fact that a large number of car owners and others will make the tour and thus formally dedicate it to tho general purposes of the touring automo-blllst.

In brief, Ihe lour will pass through Engiewood from Edgewater, thence rim to the pretty little village of Pearl River, and on to Haverstraw. continuing Ihe new state boulevard on the banks nt the beautiful Hudson. Tho scenic richness of views from Haverstraw to Wen Point Is not equaled In any part of the United States. Then the climb will be over the Crow's Xest Mountain to Cornwall, Xewburgh and then on through Kingston, New Paltz to Catsklll village. Instead of going to Catsklll villnge, however, the forthcoming endurance lest FOR SALE AUTOMOBILES.

After tbe climbing la over, which will be early In the morning, the return trip will be made to Newburgh for lunch, and from that point tha run- to Xew York will be continued. The people of the Catskllls are very much interested in the proposition to make the "West-of-HudBon and Catsklll scenic, tour" a worthy competitor of the "ideal tour." and as the run can be made In two or three days, it Is thought that thousands will take advantage of It, and the Catsklll country will be much benefited. A meeting of the business men of the Catsklll Mountains will be held at the Haines Falls House on the evening of September 10 for the purpose of organizing end developing the scenlo tour idea. The meeting will be attended by many of the participants of the contest, who will arrive there that evening.

It la an old saying that there should be a good reason for everything under the sun. In the case of the Masked Heavyweight Marvel, next challenger of Jack Johnson for the world's championship, the reason for concealing his identity is one that should appeal to every right- minded person In whose nature seijtiment still lives. Born of refined and wealthy parentage. It Is not alone family prejudice that inspired him to remain incognito, but thoughts of his mother and sister. The mother is now abroad and will be there for the next eighteen months.

His sister during that period will have) become the wife of a man powerful and prominent in European politics. Facing these facts, one cannot but Bend out an added good wish to this youngster in tha difficult task he has set out to accomplish.
